AB Social capital, derived from the individual embeddedness in a net of personal relationships that gives access to a poolof potential resources, is crucial in understanding how some people experience a higher risk of falling into social exclu‐sion. In this article, we related some compositional and structural factors of egocentered networks to various measureson economic deprivation and social exclusion. We considered different explanatory dimensions: ego’s sociodemographiccharacteristics and ego’s social capital. Social capital was measured both in terms of expressive and instrumental support,and took into account network size, strong ties density, and alters’ average job prestige, differentiating between inheritedand achieved capital, a distinction that has deserved little attention so far. We used data from the Spanish General SocialSurvey 2013 (N = 5,094), a nationally representative database not applied for similar purposes up to the present. Resultsshow how economic deprivation and social exclusion are associated with ascribed and achieved characteristics, both at themicro level (individual) and the meso level (network). At the micro level, women, immigrants, young people, less‐educatedpeople, the unemployed, and those who do not trust others have higher estimated values on the variables with regards tosocial disadvantage. At the meso level, social exclusion is associated with lower occupational prestige of achieved relation‐ships, fewer contacts for obtaining economic or medical help (but more contacts for childcare) and smaller non‐kin corediscussion networks. In a familistic society with a limited welfare system, results help to disentangle the level of depen‐dence people have on their own social resources.
